When most people think about the Tilton School the first names that come to mind are ones like Georges Niang, Nerlens Noel, or Wayne Selden.  If they're thinking about some of the great teams of the past then Alex Oriakhi, Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, and Gerard Coleman surely come up.  One guy that doesn't get quite as much notoriety, but is no less important to Tilton's success, past or present, is Goodluck Okonoboh.  The six-foot-nine forward is a top 100 national prospect… READ MORE >

Prep Profile – Cushing Academy

Posted Thursday, September 29th, 2011

One of our early trips on the prep school circuit took us to Cushing Academy, a class AA school in the NEPSAC.  Located conveniently between the Winchendon School and Notre Dame Prep, Cushing’s proximity to other prep powerhouses has made it an easy stop for college coaches over the years.  While the Penguins have always had good talent of their own, the 2011-2012 squad may be their strongest, and definitely their deepest, since Phil Pressey was wearing purple almost five… READ MORE >

Prep Profile – New Hampton

Posted Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Youth will be served at New Hampton this year as the Huskies welcome an incredibly talented, but equally young, squad.  Local New England products Noah Vonleh, Jared Terrell, Mike Auger, and Jeremy Miller will all make their NEPSAC debuts this season.  While the foursome is as talented of a young core as you could assemble within our regions borders, it would be naïve to expect the group to go without any growing pains as they get adjusted to competition that… READ MORE >
